Exegesis
The Qal perfect veragmu {וְרָגְמוּ | wə-rāg-mû} “and they will stone” depicts formal capital punishment using ba'aven {בָּאָבֶן | bā-ʾe-ven} “with the stone,” and the Piel perfect ubittekukh {וּבִתְּקוּךְ | û-ḇit-tə-kûkh} “and they will pierce you” intensifies the violence leading to the instrument becharvotam {בְּחַרְבוֹתָם | bə-ḥar-ḇō-ṯām} “with their swords.” The coordination underscores the inevitability and severity of the judgment.
Root and etymology

In context — Ezekiel 16:40
